Using highchart.js on a server-side

Today we'll talk about highcharts.js usage on a server. Forget about javascript, all code will be written in C#. In the end of article, we'll get a static chart image, which we can attach to email or save somewhere.

Quick googling for good .net charting libraries has not give any reasonable results. The best what I found is ms-chart. But it lacks good documentation and updates, it seems like Microsoft just abandoned it.

My choice is highcharts.js: very powerful and flexible library, widely used in front-end development. You just can't compare highcharts with whatever .net charting libraries. They sucks!
